 6 









	 	6.1.4.	any employment related claim or any claims based on employee, partner, agent or worker status or otherwise brought by the Consultant or any person performing the Services; and

	6.3.	The Consultant warrants and represents that the Consultant maintains and shall maintain in force throughout the Engagement, full and comprehensive insurance policies as are required for the lawful performance of the

for the Consultant. The Consultant will supply to the Client, if it so requests, a copy of any such insurance policies and evidence that premiums have been paid. If the Consultant is required to travel abroad in the course of the Engagement, the
Consultant shall also be responsible for all necessary inoculations and immigration requirements.

renewed or be changed in any material way. 

  

	7.	Confidential Information 

  

	7.1.	The Consultant acknowledges that in the course of the Engagement he will have access to Confidential Information. The Consultant has therefore agreed to accept the restrictions in this clause 7.

detriment or prejudice of the Client, any Affiliate, or any Customer, other clients or any Supplier.

	7.4.	The Consultant shall not be restrained from disclosing any Confidential Information which the Consultant is authorised to disclose in the proper performance of the Services or which is or comes into the public domain
(other than as a result of unauthorised disclosure by the Consultant) or is ordered to be disclosed by a court of competent jurisdiction, a regulatory authority or otherwise required to be disclosed by law. 


 

	7.5.	 If the Consultant is required by law to disclose any Confidential Information, it will promptly notify the
Client, in order to permit the Client to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action. The Consultant will cooperate in the Client’s efforts to obtain a 



  
 7 









	 	
protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Consultant is, in the
written opinion of its legal adviser addressed to the Client, compelled as a matter of law to disclose the Confidential Information, the Consultant may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only that part of the Confidential Information
required by law to be disclosed. 

  

	7.6.	The Consultant shall use best endeavours to safeguard Confidential Information from unauthorised disclosure. The Consultant will promptly notify the Client in writing if any information comes to its attention, which
information may indicate there was or is likely to be a loss of confidentiality of any portion of the Confidential Information. The Consultant shall use its best endeavours to retrieve the lost or wrongfully disclosed Confidential Information and to
prevent further unauthorised disclosure or loss of any Confidential Information.

	 	8.4.1.	never to transfer or assign the Works, the Inventions or any Intellectual Property Rights in the Works or the Inventions, to any third party, 


 

	 	8.4.2.	not to contest the Client’s exclusive, complete and unrestricted ownership in and to the Works and the Inventions (including all Intellectual Property Rights therein), or claim adverse rights therein;


  

	 	8.4.3.	that he has not and will not give permission to any third party to use any of the Works or the Inventions, nor any of the Intellectual Property Rights in the Works or the Inventions; 


 

	 	8.4.4.	that he is unaware of any use by any third party of any of the Works or Intellectual Property Rights in the Works; and 

  

	 	8.4.5.	that the use of the Works or the Intellectual Property Rights in the Works by the Client will not infringe the rights of any third party.

similar provisions of law in any jurisdiction, including (without limitation) the right to be identified, the right of integrity and the right against false attribution, and agrees not to institute, support, maintain or permit any action or claim to

	8.6.	The Consultant undertakes to execute all documents, make all applications, give all assistance and do all acts and things, at any time during or after the Engagement, as may, in the opinion of the Client, be necessary
or desirable to vest the Intellectual Property Rights in, and register or obtain patents or registered designs in, the name of the Client and to defend the Client against claims that works embodying Intellectual Property Rights or Inventions
infringe third party rights, and otherwise to protect and maintain the Intellectual property Rights in the Works and the Inventions. 

  

	8.7.	The Consultant hereby irrevocably appoints the Client (which may delegate its powers to any director of the Client) to be his attorney in his name and on his behalf to execute all deeds and documents, use the
Consultant’s name and do all things as may be required or desirable at any time (whether during or after the Engagement) to give full effect to the provisions of this clause for the benefit of the Client or its nominee and the Consultant agrees
immediately on request of the Client to ratify all such deeds and documents executed in pursuance of this power. A certificate in writing, signed by any director or the secretary of the Client, that any instrument or act falls within the authority
conferred by this Agreement shall be conclusive evidence that such is the case so far as any third party is concerned. 

  

	8.8.	Upon the termination of the Engagement, the Consultant shall immediately deliver to the Client in understandable and organised form, all Works, Inventions and works-in-progress, and shall, at no extra charge, be

	 	10.4.1.	the restrictions set out above are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Client and any Affiliates and that, having regard to those interests, these restrictions do not work
unreasonably on the Consultant; 

  

	 	10.4.2.	the restrictions shall apply in relation to all Customers, other clients and Suppliers in respect of whom they are expressed to apply notwithstanding that such Customers, other clients and Suppliers may have been
introduced to the Client or any Affiliate by the Consultant (or any person under its control) before or during the Engagement; and 

  

	 	10.4.3.	any and all of the Consultant’s relationships from time to time with Customers, other clients and Suppliers are the property of the Client and/or its Affiliate and the Consultant has no interest, right or
entitlement to maintain particular relationships or accounts with any such person.

entity or other person and shall apply whether the Consultant or such party act directly or indirectly. 

  

	10.6.	The restrictions entered into by the Consultant in this Clause 10 are given to the Client for itself and as trustee for each and any Affiliate. In accordance with the Contracts (Rights and Third Parties) Act 1999, any

books, materials, records, correspondence, security passes, car, computer, credit cards, telephone, keys, documents (whether confidential or not); 

  

	 	11.2.3.	advise the Client of the existence of any Works, Inventions, Confidential Information or any other information relating to the business of the Client or any Affiliate stored on any magnetic or electronic media or memory
under its control outside the premises of the Client or an Affiliate, and take all reasonable steps to permanently delete such material at the request of the Client or an Affiliate; and 


 

	 	11.2.4.	provide a signed statement that it has complied fully with its obligations under this clause. 

  

	11.3.	The rights of the Client under this clause are without prejudice to any other rights that it might have at law to terminate the Engagement or to accept any breach of this Agreement on the part of the Consultant as

	14.	General 

  

	14.1.	This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between the parties in relation to the matters dealt with in it. The Consultant acknowledges that
he has not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any representation, warranty or undertaking not expressly incorporated into it. The Consultant agrees and acknowledge that his only rights and remedies in relation to any representation,
warranty or undertaking made or given in connection with this Agreement (unless such representation, warranty or undertaking was made fraudulently) will be for breach of the terms of this Agreement, to the exclusion of all other rights and remedies
(including those in tort or arising under statute). 

  

	14.2.	This Agreement constitutes a contract between the Client and the Consultant save that it shall not be binding and enforceable unless or until executed by a duly authorised representative of the Client.


  

	14.3.	This Agreement may only be modified by the written agreement of both the Consultant and a duly authorised signatory of the Client. 

  

	14.4.	This Agreement may be entered into in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any party may enter into this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.


  

	14.5.	No party’s rights or powers under this Agreement will be affected if one party delays in enforcing any provision of this Agreement or one party grants time to the other party to remedy any breach of this Agreement
by that party. 

  

	14.6.	If a party agrees to waive its rights under a provision of this Agreement, that waiver will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Consultant or, in respect of the Client, a duly
authorised signatory. A party’s agreement to waive any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement will not be regarded as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same term or condition or a different term or condition unless expressly
stated. 

  

	14.7.	Clauses 4.4, 5.3, 6.1, 7 to 10, and 12 to 14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue to bind the parties with full force and effect. 


 

	14.8.	In the event that any of the terms, conditions or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be determined invalid unlawful or unenforceable to any extent such term condition or provision shall be severed from the
remaining terms conditions and provisions which shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

  

	14.9.	The Client may assign this Agreement to a creditworthy Affiliate in whole or in part, and if the Client shall choose to do so, the Consultant shall have no claim against the Client in connection with such assignment.


  

	14.10.	This Agreement and any dispute or claims arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of England and Wales. Each of the parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts as regards any claim or matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including
non-contractual disputes or claims).
